Happy 20th Birthday to us!

Today is the Scottish Cartoon Art Studio’s twentieth anniversary.

On May 3rd 1999 the Scottish Cartoon Art Studio began its first day in business, based in a shop on King Street in the Merchant City area of Glasgow.

There have been many, many changes since – new digs, new faces coming and going, new brands and services launched, new friends made here and abroad – but nonetheless two decades do seem to have flown.

Here’s some recent feedback from customers and, below, a gallery of some of the best work we’ve produced over the last twelve months.

“[The caricature] is great! Huge thanks for all your hard work and sending it along so quickly.” – K. Anderson, USA“Being able to give our friend a meaningful and unique gift is really special. How you manage to pull together so many memories in a single cartoon is brilliant.” – S. Hall, Devon“Wow! Looks amazing.” – T. Marshall, Gamma“Looks brilliant! Thanks for coming to my wedding, everyone loves the drawings they got.” – V. Sood, Glasgow“Many thanks for your time, patience and fantastic skills!” – M & F. Marzella, Glasgow“A massive thanks for all your hard work during the run up to the show and of course everything on the day. It went down brilliantly!” – S. Miller, Visit Scotland

A huge “thank you!” to our families, friends and all the many clients who’ve joined us on this twenty year journey.

And please visit MagicSponge77 to buy books, badges, paper craft and stickers based on the caricature artwork of our founder, Chris Sommerville.
